Elle is currently down in the Great Hall. Just around the corner where I got stabbed by Elle. She's having my surgery and dreaming like she's asleep.

The moment Elle stabbed me, I touched her to make the surgical ceremony work directly, and I unleashed a fantasy (fantastic trans). The result is what she looks like now.

Dreams (fantastic trans) are a way to show dreams to a subject. Unlike sleep (sleep), the subject is bounced conscious in dreams created by the surgeon, rather than sleeping. As such, it will not wake naturally and will remain so until the surgical erasure (dispel) or the operator disarms it.

I've been on other errands while she was down. There are still soldiers' bodies around, as well as the wizards who are losing limbs.

When I dismissed the operation, Elle woke up and checked the area. It is a natural reaction because the scenery suddenly changed.

And I realized I was in custody, plus I was standing right around the corner. When she noticed me, she loosened her expression like she was relieved as soon as possible. But he immediately gave me an angry look because he acted inconsistently with his will.

"Master, what the hell is this all about? I don't really like these hobbies, though."

"Right. Don't be dreaming forever, why don't you just look at reality a little bit?

"I don't know what you're talking about. Shall we continue faster than that?

"Well, how about this?

"Huh?"

I kicked her in the stomach to show her that it was real, inviting me to continue dreaming about whether there was no distinction between dreamy events and reality. Her face, which folds and rolls into a letter that folds her body, often has the expression that she doesn't know what's going on.

Still, he seemed to have found out that I had been kicked, and he tried to trigger the surgical ceremony by tricking me. But the procedure did not activate, and again she had a stunned look on her face.

"Hey, why?

"I let your procedure be sealed, and at last I kept my hands and feet in captivity so that they wouldn't break out. How do you know this is real?"

"Oh, maybe... that's what the master has a hobby for, isn't it?

"That's a dream I made for your convenience. You've been down here ever since you got my technique."

"Heh, that's the setting, I see. Should I resist?

She doesn't try to listen to my words at all. I used a curse (cancellation) to try but it didn't make sense. You dreamed you were tied to me, and you couldn't seem to come back to reality. This is no longer within the scope of being able to be treated with surgery. I can't cure crazy spirits right now.

It's a shame she turned out like this, just because she was originally good. She had missed me from the beginning, so she left me alone, but if this were to happen, she should have manipulated her memory, too.

"What is it, Master? Now you can attack all you want, right?

"Oh, right. Let me do that."

Draw a sword from one of the soldiers and set a goal for her. Even up to this point, she seems to think she's part of the game, and instead of not moving at all, she's looking at me with her eyes like she sees a fool.

"Um, Master... that's dead on the boulder, isn't it?

"Is there a problem?

"Oh, I see. You're gonna bring me back to life later."

"No, I don't mean to be hairy, though?

"Haha, you're kidding, right? If you're in too much shape, you'll be abusing me later, won't you?

She still mistakenly thinks she's in control of me, so she seems to think if she gives me orders, she'll stop me.

Swing the sword down right next to her. I cut her cheek shallow and hit the ground with a high metal noise. There was blood coming from the wound, and that pain finally seemed to make her understand the current situation, too. The color of fear is mixed with the gaze that looks at me.

"Master...? What's wrong with you? You don't like me anymore?

"I'm not doing anything. You're the one who's crazy, El."

"Was there something wrong with you? I'll fix it. Let me know."

"We can't cure it anymore. Once crazy minds don't go back to normal."

"I love you, Master. The master will love me, too, won't he?

"Oh, I love you. As an apprentice."

"Huh?"

I sat beside her with my sword down, looking at Elle, who had completely stopped moving. She's going to look at this one with incredible eyes, but she doesn't mind continuing the conversation.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind helping you betray me. I get the atonement for it, but because I believe I had one end of the blame, too. But if I forgive you, the fact that you killed a kingdom soldier in this fortress and betrayed the kingdom with the guidance of the Demon Empire will not change. You're already a fine rebel."

"No, I was just trying to help the master..."

"It's not. The soldiers of this fortress have been wiped out, and several towns have been attacked and devastated. You who caused this, you no longer have a place within this kingdom. Even I can't risk hiding you like that."

"So why don't we leave the kingdom together? We can live together far away from the kingdom."

"Hate, I have Sophie or Tia or Natalia. I never choose you."

The moment I heard Sophie and the others' names, her expression turned into something full of anger at once, and began to storm so hard that the restraints seemed to shake off.

"Why don't you just leave those guys alone! The master is coming with me!

"I'm not yours. If they tell me to choose between you and them, I will choose them."

"No, no, no, no, no!

"It's a shame you betrayed me, but you only told me one good thing. Let's keep our next apprentice close by. Of course, let me make a pledge not to betray you."

"No, no, no, no, no!

You haven't got my word in your ear, you've been uttering the same word. I also feel a little disappointed to see how that goes. I thought she was a little more mentally capable, but in this respect, she seemed to be my misprospect. I still don't need romantic feelings from my apprentice. The next apprentice should be careful around there.

I grab the sword and stand up and hang up some physical strengthening procedures. I mean at least I'll kill him so he doesn't have any pain. The sword has also been reinforced, so it is lightly glowing due to the effect of the procedure.

She also seemed to understand what I was doing, shaking her head desperately while distorting her face with fear.

"Well, if you have a will, I'll ask you, do you have anything?

"Master, I won't do this again! I will devote my life to my master, please…"

"You seemed slow to notice. It's all too late now."

"Huh! Why don't you pick me!? Even though I love my master more than anyone!

"... is that the will?

"Are those women!? If those guys were gone, would you have just seen me!?

"I don't think you could have been more than a disciple without them."

"Please love me! I'll do anything for the master!

"I told you, it's too late"

I waved my sword down her neck as I heard her scream. The sword wielded at the speed of sound cut off her neck beautifully, letting her die in an instant. A few moments later, a large amount of blood erupted from his decapitated neck and dyed the area to Zhu.

When I picked up her raw head painted on blood, it was a very restful look. He said that just before he died, so it's natural.

"Sorry, think this is fate too and give up"

After having Elle's eyes closed, he took the breathless among her body and those of the demonic empire and transferred them to the mansion.

"... Really, they knocked her down"

After returning to the mansion, he informed Margarete, who had been allowed to evacuate earlier, that he had handled the events at the fortress and the remnants of the demonic empire. Sleeping in bed, she was still pale, but to the extent that she could talk about the fortress, she was holding it back.

Unlike the fact that Elle was brainwashed by Van to betray the kingdom and secretly put adventurers and soldiers of the Demon Empire within the kingdom, and that the remnants of the Demon Empire that were attacking the town could easily be destroyed because they were smaller than expected, there are two main points.

Well, I can't help but accuse me of being El's master, but I have trouble with the boulders suspecting me of being an insider, so I asked Margarete to give me a defense around there as well.

"Nevertheless... metastasis, is it? If I had such a thing, I should have told you sooner. I think it's going to broaden the strategy."

"Unfortunately, the transfer should not be used more often because there will be errors at the landing point. And it takes a lot of work to prepare."

"You can still use it in an emergency. Aren't you going to even tell the Enchantress Squad?

"You can't. No one is likely to be able to use the metastasis with strength. At least you don't have as much strength as El."

"Really? See you next time for this story..."

The door opened unexpectedly and Sophie came in. Margarete wears a blanket in surprise at the sound of the door opening. As far as we're talking, it looks all right now, but seeing as I'm surprised by the unintentional sound of things, it's hard to say it's still complete.

Sophie looked a little sad when she realized that she had surprised Margarete, but she quickly regained it.

"Marie, it's okay. It's me, it's Sophia."

"Ah, sister... I showed you the embarrassment..."

"Never mind, take your rest yet"

Sophie leaning closer to Margarete, hugging her and stroking her head. Margarete also misses her sister a lot, so she has a hugged and happy look on her face, as if it was a lie she was frightened of.

"Oh, I was. Dear Yard, I've put out a use for the castle, so I think I'll come back later to pick up the prisoners."

"Well, what do I do when it comes to El?

"... sorry, I don't know that far. Probably take the body for confirmation..."

"Right, okay. Then let's say it's time to go back. Lord Margarete, take care of yourself."

"Yes, please be careful"

"I don't need to rest like that, so please go quickly"

I greeted them and left the room. The remnants of the Demon Empire that broke into the Kingdom were defeated, but the Royal Army is still in the Demon Empire. I told Olympia to leave the scene for a while once, but it would be problematic for the captainship to have left on its own.

When he returned with the transfer, he complained to the Advocate Olympia, the other brave men, and the others. All I had to do was complain, because I'm a brave man, and because I was just withdrawing, it would be huge that I could handle it without me.

The mercenaries of the Demon Empire who had broken into the kingdom were taken over by the soldiers of the castle. Since they cannot announce that the fortress has been devastated by boulders, they will be handled internally after being tortured.

Elle's body just had to be confirmed, so I made a grave and let him in. I can't publish the cause of death, so it's almost all in me. I felt guilty too when I saw Natalia, who was close to me, crying and grieving.

Some time after the brave men returned to the kingdom, news came in that they had captured the emperor in the Borderline Uncle Territory. Borderline uncles were somewhat adulterated when they were caught, but when they were brought to the king's capital, they were dismayed to see the king's capital, which had not been damaged at all.

If the King's capital had concentrated its troops on the front line and was galloping empty, it could have dropped even the force we sent to the fortress. He would have been caught a lot betting on that possibility too, but it would have been easy to know that his last hope had been extinguished if he had seen the state of the completely intact King's capital.

The executions of the emperors and demonic empire nobles were carried out immediately. Until he was transported to the place of execution, he went around the king's capital to expose his miserable figure to the king's people, and went up on the execution bench one by one in the public eye, and the executioner cut off his neck with an axe.

As the nobles are executed one after the other, there is no sign of the vans who raided the fortress. They were being privately sentenced to death by relatives and colleagues of the soldiers killed, after having been tortured to spit out all the information.

At the end of the day, when the Emperor's neck was beheaded, the people watching him cheered and rejoiced that the war was over. Some of them were grieving at the loss of their families, but that day the whole Wang capital was as noisy as a festival.

And we were called to the castle. Probably because we achieved our summoned purpose of defeating the Demon Empire. While seen by the nobles around him during his usual glances, the King has conveyed a word of gratitude to each of the brave men.

"Count Werner, this battle against the Demonic Empire was truly daunting. I hear you've done a great job, too. With that wisdom and magical talent, you will continue to do your part for the kingdom."

Copy that.

Honestly, I want to do my thing as a priority from now on, but I can't make that statement on this occasion, so I'll make it a statement that I've read the air. The other brave men seem happy as the nobles around them applaud.

Alec and Fairis, of course, and Sagami, who seemed to be untrained in the original world, seem to have decided to be ready to bury their bones in the world here. I don't know how Sagami feels because I've decided I don't have to go back to the old world a long time ago.

When I think that this has finally ended the role of brave man, it reminds me of what has happened since I came here. I didn't even think about consolidating myself in this world when I first got here, but I thought I'd miss that idea now.

The territory of the Demon Empire was given land under the direct jurisdiction of the King where rare ores, specialties and the like could be picked, and other lands to existing and newly appointed nobles.

The Gran family became a new member of the kingdom aristocracy as countenance, dominated by Olympian brother. Olympia herself, as declared, leaves the Gran family and works as a maid in my mansion.

Alec and Sagami have been married to noble daughters for some time, and they both work in the Royal Army. He says he leaves it to his surrogate, just like me.

Fairis still works in church. Apparently, the Heterogeneous Inquisition Agency had invited me several times, but he says he doesn't like rough things all the time.

I remain in the Mansion of the King's Capital, and the territorial management leaves me to the agents to continue my self-depraved life with Sophie and the others. Savings and tax revenues from the territory are luxurious, so I have never had trouble with the money so far.

Dawn on experiments every day reminds me of when it was canned in an old lab, but the difference is that I can do my favorite research.

It's bad for the world to do the most work at all, so I train the castle magicians a few times a month, but it takes a lot of work to teach them because they're just not as well done as Elle.

That's why I decided to welcome a new apprentice. Today is the first day to remember.

"I hear you have a new apprentice coming today. What kind of person are you?

I liked the weather, so that's what they asked me when I was having tea in the garden with Sophie and Natalia. Tier and Olympia, who are preparing their tea, also seem interested, and are listening to this conversation as they prepare.

"In a nutshell, he's the one who's out of time."

"What's that? Are you okay with having someone like that as your apprentice?

"What, you'll see"

"Really? Looking forward to it"

Talking about that, I saw one person running. Promise time is quite past, so I guess I rushed in from the room. Everyone is stunned to see if they have any idea who's approaching them.

"Sorry, I'm late!

"More than that, say hello to everyone."

"Yes! Here we go, I will be Master's apprentice today, my name is Mel!

She has a scratch on her cheek, but she greets me that way with a face that looks just like Elle, and they all look at me at the same time.

"Hey, yard! Elle should be dead..."

"Elle is dead. This guy has a different memory from her. The amount of magic is just like that."

"What are you talking about?

"No, it's nothing. Encourage me as a disciple from now on."

"Yes!"

I said something. Leave everyone alone and tell Tia to prepare her share of tea.

It's a shame to dump someone as powerful as her. Let's keep trying for my experiments.
